I was gifted a tin of House of Windsor's Hines Mixture T426 by a fellow BoB member. The story is I never knew what blend my grandfather smoked as he died early in my life. BUT, I could never forget the smell of his pipe. When I cracked open the Hines Mixture I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt this was his blend!!!!! I smoked the first bowl of it this afternoon and I really liked the blend. I know this blend has been discontinued. My question for you guys is.......does anyone know of a blend close to this?

Thanks,
Jeff
 
Several reviewers at TR.com suggest that DAN Tobacco's Sweet Vanilla Honeydew may have a "Coconilla" quality. And given that Hine's was supposedly flavored with that combination, the Sweet Vanilla Honeydew may be a decent place to start the quest.

Bear in mind, however, that I haven't tried either of these tobaccos.
